SEIZED SEALERS.
Their Release Has Not
Been Ordered.
SECRETARY BAYARD'S VIEWS
Terrible Atrocities by Indians in
BOlivia-Murder and
Cannibalism.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

AaSOCluttu ITeSS DlbputCuCS W ttiC j1EEALD
WASHINGTON, September 1S.-Witl
regard to the statements published to-
day, alleging that Secretary Bayarc
had telegraphed to ''his officer" il
Alaska to release the seized sealers
and that the order had not been exc
cuted because the Alaska official wat
not sure of the authenticity of the or
der, Secretary Bayard said that the
dispatch showed its incorectness OF
it's face.
ORDERS NOT MADE THAT WAY.
Alaska is part OF the United States
and consequently the State Depart
ment has no officers whatever there
as it has in foreign countries. All it,
knowledge of Alaskan affairs comes
through other departments of the Gov
ernment. The Secretary of State
would give no order to an Alaskan Of
ficlal nor receive information from one
except through the head of another
department.
A FLAT DENIAL.
With reference to that part O
the dispatch and the other dispatches
which allege that the release of the
seized sealers had been ordered, the
Secretary made the following explici
denial OF any knowledge OF any sucl
order "There has been to my knowl
edge no order issued by the President
for the release of any of the W ysell
seized this year, simply because We
have no knowledge of the circum
stances under which the vessels were
seized and we only know that they
are in the haads OF the court, and
therefore, will be dealt with according
to law.
THREE RELEASED LAST YEAR.
There were three cases last year il
which the President saw fit / order
the release of three vessels seized ir
August, 1886, but these are tho only
cases know of in which vessels were
ordered released. That occurred last
year, and the facts were made public
at the time.
BAYARD's GRIEVANCES.
The Secretary was somewhat an
moved at the criticism which has been
made upon his course with regard tc
the fisheries question and particularly
with reference to the commission fol
settlement. He said that he hat
made proposal to Great Britain fol
settlement, and that the proposal hat
been male public some time ago. Ht
could not hasten the publication OF the
correspondence which had since taker
place. 1t would all be. laid before
Congress in due time, and be made
public, and would show that his efforts
have been to obtain an honorable an(
fair settlement of the question.

BOLIVEA,S Ell DGET.
Indiana on tho Warpath..-Fear-
ful Atrocities Committed.

SAN Francisco, September 1S.-The
Panama steamer Acapulco arriving to-
day brings news that in Bolivia the
Indian rising is increasing and assum'
ing alarming proportions. Three
more tribes have joined and if the
government does not soon send helI
all the towns on the Benz will be re-
duced to ashes. On the Oath of June
there was
In-La Paz, owing to the municipality
having ordered that cattle should be
killed in the new slaughter-house and
the meat carried thence for sale in the
market place. Thirteen of the butch
ers who had killed as formerly were
compelled to convey their meat to the
market and to sell it there.
RUFFIANLy RENEGADEs.
The other butchers were then at
once Joined by some 5000 Indians and
Cholos, who sacked their market
place, smashed all the counters and
benches, and then set fire to it in diff
ferent places. Then they went to the
prison, smashed in the doors and win
dows, and liberated several of their
number who had been arrested.
TERRIBLE STORY.
From Viacha, which is in close
proximity of La Paz, the following
letter was subsequently written :
"Since the inspection of lands the ex-
element among the Indians has in
creased, numerous murders ar, COM
mitted daily and in some of them the
most horrible ferocity is evinced.
TORTURED AND KILLED.
A few days ago man named Cho-
cola and his son were murdered by
Indians belonging to the village. Al
ter being tortured, they were quartered
and the pieces thrown into blazing
fire, where they were roasted. A lit
tie prior to this the manager of Cau-
saya was quartered by laborers at
Corpa. Other crimes of yet more hor-
rible nature have been committed,
and people have been murdered whose
flesh has afterward been devoured by
the murderers.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald
Chicago, September 1S.-State's
Attorney Grinnell, who returned from
the East tonight, in an interview re-
garding the Anarchist case, said that
the decision OF the Supreme Court
could not have been a surprise to any
one familiar with law and the facts in
the case. He does not think that the
Supreme Court of the United States
will grant writ in the case. Being
asked if he would petition for COM
mutation OF the sentences to imprison-
ment for life, he said, $50 far as my
office is concerned my duty in the case
is ended. / have no recommendation
to make, and do not expect to
sign any letter Of recommen-
dation for the communication Of the sem
tence of any of the Anarchists, but l
shall do nothing to prevent the friends
of the defendants seeking relief. Al
ter the rendition OF judgment l did
say and now repeat that the conduct
of Schwab and Fielden during the
trial and while addressing the court
before the sentence was commendable.
They did not abuse the law, were re-
spectful to the court and did not
breathe vengeance as did the others,
but can see no way in which the
cases can be separated. l regret to
see the expressions of hate and re-
venge on the part of the friends of
the defendants in New York and else
where, because it will leave them very
little chance for an impartial hearing
by the Governor.
oGLEsBY PET1uoNED.
New York, September 1S.-District
Assembly No. 40, X. of L., passed res
olutions to-day asking Governor Ogles-
by, of Illinois, to commute the SEN
tence of the seven Chicago Anarchists.
They ordered committee appointed
some weeks ago to get the names OF
the sympathizers with the Anarchists
to hurry up, and also to pick up all
the money they could get to aid the
condemned men.
THREATS OF VENGEANCE.
LONG ISLAND Cry, N. Y, Septem-
Der 1S.-A largely attended meeting
of Socialists was held at Schutzen
Park, in the German settlement, this
afternoon, at which Herr Johann
Most, of New York, beneath a waving
red flag, declaimed in vehement terms
against the Chicago judiciary, and
threatened vengeance i'll the event OF
the execution OF the condemned An
archists. His remarks we're received
with evident approval by the majority
of his hearers. A collection to swell
the Anarchist defense fund was taken
up and over $32 was raised.
A DIsoRDERLY SCENE.
New YORK, September 1S.-George
Schelling, of Chicago, was present at
a meeting of the Central Labor Union
Eto-day to present the case of the con-
demned anarchists with a view to en-
listing union laborers in behalf of the
condemned men, but internal dis
putes prevented him from carrying
out his intention. A schism between
the progressive socialists and Henry
Georges adherents broke out again
and caused great row, after which
the meeting dispersed without hearing
Schelling, who, however, was assured
that they were all in sympathy with
his cause.

SAN Francisco, September 49,
The interest manifested in the Me-

proved by the continued large attend
ance. In every portion of the build

the appreciative attention of the many
sight-seers, and the fair this year con-

hibited. The county exhibits are con-
stantly surrounded by people, while
the stands on which are exposed arti-

quota OF admirers. Many special ex-

ordinarily meritorious.

A Young Man Accidentally Killed
Near San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, September 18.-A
hunting accident occurred to-day near
what is known rs the Eleven-Mile

gram. 1t seems that Murtha and his
companions were climbing over a
fence when gun which was in the
hands of one Walter Horne was acci-
dentally discharged. Murtha re-
ceived the contents of both barrels of
the shotgun in his left side. He was
terribly lacerated and died almost inn
mediately. Murtha was the son OF
VIM. o. Murtha, plumber and gas
